Phoenix (Joseph)
"Did you think I was offering a pastry when I jumped at Edge trying to Crunch him?"

Personality
Phoenix is quite mild to his friends and his trainer. He talks seriously, but politely to all that he sees. Despite this, he greatly enjoys battling, and becomes much more fierce when doing so. Before Joseph could understand Monese, Phoenix was his go-to translator. He tends to never use contractions, except when very emotional or in battle.
Phoenix tends to be awkward around the opposite sex, and often ExtremeSpeeds away in the midst of a conversation.
He is apparently quite feminine looking for a Lucario, leading to some confusion from both Joseph and the makers of the J-Team TV show (where he is played by a girl).
Abilities in Battle
Phoenix uses his Aura less than other Lucarios, or even some humans, but he is nevertheless a fearsome opponent. He was used as his trainer's Fighting type before Joseph caught more. He is a very strong physical attacker, and (though he uses them less often) an even stronger Special Attacker.
